starter cut-out switch, where is it?

[rhoman]

my son found a 71 super beetle with autostick in a field and we are trying to bring it back to life.  i know very little about VWs and will probably need lots of help.  Some one was trying to remove the body and place it on a bronco frame and make it a 4X4 then gave up.  So, there are lots of missing parts and the wireing is pretty much ripped loose.

I have the Bently service manual and in the auto stick wireing diagram it shows a Starter cut-out switch.  Where on the car is the switch?

Also if anybody knows where i could find a 71 super in the NE USA cheap for parts, let me know

thanks

Switch is on the driver's side front part os the trans, just above the ground strap.  May have a plastic cover on it.  See fig. 7-4 in your Bentley, Autostick section..

Sounds like a perfect donor car to build a Trike out of...
